Cauliflower wings

The Vegan month just got tastier with crispy cauliflower wings! 🌱

Perfectly crunchy, totally plant-based, and packed with flavour! 😋🍴

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 cup flour (or gluten-free)
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup vegan breadcrumbs

For the Tomato-Based Sauce:

  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a large bowl, combine the flour, plant-based milk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Coat the Cauliflower:
    • Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, shaking off any excess.
    • Roll the florets in breadcrumbs for added crispiness.
  4. Bake the Cauliflower:
    • Arrange the coated cauliflower on the baking sheet and bake for 20 mins. Flip them halfway through for even baking.
  5. Make the Tomato-Based Sauce:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, maple syrup, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 mins.
  6. Coat with Sauce:
    • Remove the baked cauliflower from the oven and toss it in the tomato-based sauce until evenly coated.
    • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 mins until the cauliflower is crispy and caramelized.
  7. Serve
